Fossil Soup: A History
As with life, ideas evolve, and like a trooper, I'm forcing myself to evolve with them, trying my best to live by what I rant from time to time, practice what I preach from time to time, and all the time just be myself. Hopefully, I won't have the same problems getting journal posts to stick here like I had on previous attempts to get everything up.
For those of you wondering about the name, "Why Fossil Soup?" As much as one would like to think it's a play on words, taking in history in as eclectic fashion as a bowl of chowder or stew, it's primarily taken from the theme I've had in my previous journal and the mix cds that accompanied me throughout my daily drives to wherever I was going. No, I'm not going to divulge any of my musical tastes here, as it's irrelevant to the points I will drive home, and besides, a better, more informed alternative comes readily to mind.
It started with "Lou Soup," an inside joke between a friend of mine and I because of a phase in my life where everything I did or saw I immediately associated with food. Hence why I played online games under names like MeatloafMonster or 86 Catfish. Thankfully, those days are behind me, but that was what I named my journal for a time, and it became a complete wreck. The time frame for "Lou Soup" dates from late January 2006 to late March 2006, a mere two months before a crash and burn in classic goat style.
A three-month hiatus of some pretty debaucherous living kept me from doing much of anything in regards of expression, and because I had found a means of otherwise expressing myself (the school newspaper opinions page) I felt I no longer needed an online journal to reflect what is happening.
But I had a second thought. If I made it as indirectly yet discreetly autobiographical as possible, it would hold interest as long as the words spoke for themselves rather than speaking for me, correct? Well, it worked! It caught on a little bit more and with it came the "Fossil" series of cds that were a little more inspired than the "Lou Soup" series of cds that I made which were dictated by the mood that carried me during the particular day that it was mixed and burned.
The Fossil series began in early July and continues to this day, and thus with the move, the amalgamation of Lou Soup and Fossil in its most complete form: Fossil Soup.
Yeah, it's not over yet. Here's a brief history of the features I've had until now if you're curious:
Video Friday: YouTube Treasures I -- A school project tickling the idea of government coercion set to "Killing in the Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine. Dedicated to: The Evil Smurfs.
Video Friday: YouTube Treasures II -- Hurra Torpedo performs "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Dedicated to: anyone who's ever had his pants fall down onstage.
Video Friday: YouTube Treasures III -- Cheech and Chong perform "Mexican Americans/Beaners" in a scene in the film "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie." Dedicated to: Ryan, who has painted me with the greatest racial slur known to man.
Video Friday: YouTube Treasures IV -- Chris Farley supercharges the crowd at a Mudhoney concert during a scene in the film "Black Sheep." Dedicated to: the proposition that all men are created equal.
Video Friday: YouTube Treasures V -- Billy Batts gets the shit beat out of him by the "Goodfellas," set to the tune of "Atlantis" by Donovan. Dedicated to: Smocko, who brought this scene to my attention.
Movies You've Probably Forgotten About: Volume I -- A review of "The Fifth Element."
Movies You've Probably Forgotten About: Volume II -- A review of "Clue."
